Very friendly staff. Good breakfast. The biggest swimming pool is not for the customers use and that's the only negative part of that hotel. Price and quality matching. ##### Rauli Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 23 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Afterthought Friendly staff. Clean room. It seems they have a lot of private events throughout the hotel with music and microphones blaring and seems the guest become an afterthought. There was a lot of machine cutting construction one night around 11pm spoke to front desk and didn’t reply immediately, 20 minutes or so after they replied with will ask them when they will finish, no consideration to guest. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ricardo 21 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Maria was very friendly and her customer service was above , every other person at hotel very friendly ##### Ricardo Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lissette 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excelente hotel ##### Lissette Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### ordonez 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities staff very friendly ##### ordonez Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good experience ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Yadilka 9 Aug 2025 breakfast should improved american breakfast has bacon , waffles and pancakes ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1325bae1-d720-48a2-902c-52b6437e4afa-1754762711419.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Yadilka Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zamira 13 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities How is close to what we wanted. ##### Zamira Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Yadilka 9 Aug 2025 Needs improvement on American breakfast.
